Undergraduate Programme

 

In the Bachelor Degree of Science (Science and Technology Studies), students are exposed to an integrated study of the philosophical aspects of S&T and Management and Policy Studies in S&T. The curriculum was developed in reflection of current and latest advancements in S&T as well as the management of research and development of S&T that draws upon global awareness of the Sustainability of the Society and the Community. To add dynamism and rigor to the program, guest lecturers from government and private sectors as well as various relevant industries with expert knowledge in their fields of specialization will periodically join the teaching staff.

Among the main objectives of Science and Technology Studies is to help expand and enhance the mobility of the intellect of science students. By offering courses that include the dimensions of history, philosophy, social science and policy as well as integrated packages from pure science courses in biology, chemistry, physics, geology and mathematics, students will be able to attain soft skill, such as critical thinking and life-long learning. Such skills and the mastery of reflective knowledge in S&T Studies would prepare the student the necessary character-building as well as the intellectual and mental energy to assist the nation to formulate and enact effective policies related to the development of science and technology.
